Synopsis

Discover the Journal From Initial Idea to Completed Story

A wardrobe that leads to a fantasy world...a rendition of Hamlet told by Rosencrantz and Guildenstern...the life and times of the Wicked Witch of the West.... Just where do successful writers get their ideas? Author Fred White demystifies the creative process of idea generation by breaking it down into six essential stages: idea recognition, idea incubation, outlining, research, drafting, and revision. In Where Do You Get Your Ideas? you will learn:

   • How to create, organize, and keep a writer's notebook.
   • Where to look for ideas--in daily observations, books, news articles, and magazines--and how to recognize a story when you see one.
   • Techniques for developing ideas into creative works of fiction and non-fiction: free-associating, listing, mapping, and collaging.
   • How to transform a good idea into a great story, novel, or memoir.
With practical advice, techniques, and exercises, plus 75 seminal ideas to jump-start your creativity, Where Do You Get Your Ideas? will pull back the curtain on the magic of idea generation and reveal the wealth of writing inspiration right in front of you.
